Abstract

Public health initiatives in community and school settings are complementary to clinical medicine and are necessary in times of health crisis, such as the current epidemic of obesity. In addition to providing health care for individuals, physicians need to regard their community as their patient and participate in multidisciplinary, collaborative efforts to turn the tide of obesity in children and adolescents.

摘要

社区和学校环境中的公共卫生举措是临床医学的补充，在面临健康危机时，如当前的肥胖流行，这些举措是必要的。除了为个体提供医疗保健外，医生还需要将他们所在的社区视为自己的病人，并参与多学科协作努力，以扭转儿童和青少年肥胖的趋势。
